Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us long.
Speaker 4: I appreciate it, man, I appreciate it. Chad, what's up? O? Choe?
Speaker 4: What's up? Baby? Man?
Speaker 5: Everything good? I'm still waiting to race you. I remember,
Speaker 5: I've been waiting by I've been waiting bout ten fifteen years. Now.
Speaker 6: We're gonna put them spikes on.
Speaker 4: But for you know what. First of all, I was
Speaker 4: trying to add added to my stats.
Speaker 1: I was trying to get down to say, hey, beat
Speaker 1: Chad Oto Sinko in the street race.
Speaker 4: But my package an't come.
Speaker 1: I hit the button that said thirty days on Amazon
Speaker 1: and said overnight.
Speaker 4: So I didn't get my spikes yet. So we gonna wait.
Speaker 6: Oh oh, okay, okay, we're gona beat that popping though.
Speaker 6: Yes sir, yes, sir.
Speaker 2: Justin, let's jump right into it. In the women's one
Speaker 2: hundred meter final, this wasn't upset. She was the overwhelming
Speaker 2: Ferry favorite. Although Julian Alfred has been running well all year,
Speaker 2: she's been in her bag all year. So let's not
Speaker 2: just make it seem like she just came on the scene.
Speaker 2: She's an NCAA champ, she's a medalist on the world stage.
Speaker 2: She can run, and she put the race together of
Speaker 2: her life. She got out of the block and to
Speaker 2: Carrie couldn't chase her down. It seems like to me
Speaker 2: that Sha Carrie she was not herself. She wasn't a
Speaker 2: jubilant she wasn't playing around like she normally was. When
Speaker 2: you watch this race and you break it down from
Speaker 2: your professional standpoint, what besides Julian Alfred running, Well, what
Speaker 2: do you think happened to Sha Carrie in this race?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 1: You know, I think Sha Carrie is known to be
Speaker 1: a fighter, right, That's how she's made her mark in
Speaker 1: the sport.
Speaker 4: She's fought the world.
Speaker 1: We know it because you can see it in her
Speaker 1: races when she comes across that line, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. So watching her run, she didn't show that
Speaker 1: I think in the semis and the finals.
Speaker 4: But once again, just like in the Super Bowl, when
Speaker 4: you get to the.
Speaker 1: Olympic line, everything that you think of that you when
Speaker 1: you was a little kid about being an Olympic medalist
Speaker 1: or going to the super Bowl, and so flashbacks to
Speaker 1: come to you.
Speaker 4: That moment is here.
Speaker 1: Now, it's a heavy moment that you have to put
Speaker 1: on your back when that gun goes off. So I
Speaker 1: think at the end of the day, sometimes that moment
Speaker 1: gets bigger than you and the preparation you just got
Speaker 1: to put to the side and say everything that got
Speaker 1: me to this point, I'm gonna do it again.
Speaker 4: Go ahead, o Joe.
Speaker 5: I mean, I think, I think all she Curry has
Speaker 5: to do, She's been phenomenal all year.
Speaker 6: She's been phenomenal all year. Obviously, she did win silver.
Speaker 6: And there's one thing. I'm not a track runner.
Speaker 5: I'm not a track star, but I am familiar with
Speaker 5: what track runners with athletes.
Speaker 4: I have one.
Speaker 6: Now you know, my daughter's here, she's at University Kentucky.
Speaker 6: If we can help my baby, if we can help
Speaker 6: my baby with.
Speaker 5: Her start, just get it better, Just get a faster start,
Speaker 5: Just get it her start turning over a little faster.
Speaker 6: Because the second the back half of the race, she's good.
Speaker 6: She's good.
Speaker 5: And other other than that, I have I have nothing
Speaker 5: bad to say. I'm happy, I'm happy she gets she
Speaker 5: won silver, and I'm excited I'm excited.
Speaker 4: I don't think that was a Sha carry that we
Speaker 4: know showed up today.
Speaker 1: And that's nothing against SHA carry, because I think that
Speaker 1: if the shake carry we know that showed up to
Speaker 1: Olympic trials would have handle business today, that would have
Speaker 1: been that would have been a very close race and
Speaker 1: a very competitive race today.
Speaker 5: Hey, Justin and I I have a question with someone
Speaker 5: as good as that. I'm sure obviously, whenever you race,
Speaker 5: especially on.
Speaker 6: A stage this big, do you.
Speaker 5: As a runner, as a competitor, do you still consider
Speaker 5: it a bad thing?
Speaker 6: Coming in second? Is it?
Speaker 1: Is?
Speaker 4: That?
Speaker 6: Is that?
Speaker 4: I mean?
Speaker 5: How do you guys view it as Olympic sprinters not winning.
Speaker 6: Gold but still but still placing You know really well.
Speaker 1: I mean when you look at the point of how
Speaker 1: you trained all year, you've become the favorite, and you've
Speaker 1: worked so hard to make sure you want to obtain
Speaker 1: that goal. Yes, it's a little hurt in your heart,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, because your focus is to
Speaker 1: get that goal. That's what you're here for. You the
Speaker 1: favorite going into the finals. You the favorite going into
Speaker 1: the Olympics. So everyone's already saying that it's yours to louse.
Speaker 4: That's what you want.
Speaker 1: But at the if you're looking at it from like
Speaker 1: fifty thousand feet up, when you look at yourself a
Speaker 1: seven point nine billion people in the world, you get
Speaker 1: in that second place. It's still an accomplishment, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, Especially for if you have a young career,
Speaker 1: you have.
Speaker 4: A long career.
Speaker 6: Nay, so yeah, long way.
Speaker 1: I don't think that she should walk away feeling with
Speaker 1: her head hanging down. Is the fact that it's motivation
Speaker 1: going into the World Championships and her getting ready for
Speaker 1: the next Olympics when it comes.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, but this is what we've talked about.
Speaker 2: We should carry all along, even when you carry before
Speaker 2: what transpired in twenty twenty one, we always question the starts.
Speaker 2: We know at this level. This is not high school,
Speaker 2: this is not the collegiate level. Justin you are not
Speaker 2: going to consistently run down these men and women if
Speaker 2: you get left in the blocks.
Speaker 4: They're just too talented. Talented.
Speaker 2: You can't spot a great. You can't spot women and
Speaker 2: men that are the equivalent of you two meters and
Speaker 2: think you're gonna chase them down. The reason why Boat
Speaker 2: got so good, because great is because he worked on
Speaker 2: that start and once he could get out the blocks
Speaker 2: even with you. Once he got the fifty meters and
Speaker 2: he stood up, it was over.
Speaker 4: Should Carry has a top end like you.
Speaker 2: Gotta go back to Flow Joe to find a female
Speaker 2: that has a top end like should Carry.
Speaker 4: But she's giving up too much.
Speaker 2: Ground in the beginning of the race justin and she
Speaker 2: can't chase these women down consistently.
Speaker 1: So my coach when I when I was competing, is
Speaker 1: actually her coach. And my coach always said, Jennis Mitchell
Speaker 1: said nine to seven, don't catch nine to seven. So
Speaker 1: you can't give a deficit to an individual that is
Speaker 1: your equal out there. When you compete in the cast,
Speaker 1: you gotta make sure that you go through your checks
Speaker 1: and balances before that race, and when that gun goes off,
Speaker 1: anything that is what you gotta hit, which is your
Speaker 1: strong suit. You gotta capitalize on your strong suit. Her
Speaker 1: strong suit is that second half. She has to be
Speaker 1: in striking distance of the Julian Alpha. Because Julian Alford
Speaker 1: is strong, she gonna push to that line and that's
Speaker 1: what she did tonight. She got in front and she
Speaker 1: did not relinquish that lead. For s Carrie sh Carrie
Speaker 1: had to give like you said earlier with Usain Voat,
Speaker 1: have a good start.
Speaker 4: You ain't got to be in front the field.
Speaker 1: We know that when the light goes on and you
Speaker 1: hit that fifty meter mark, she Carrie wakes up and
Speaker 1: we see what she can do when she wakes up.
Speaker 1: So the fact is now, then lift the gold of
Speaker 1: somewhere else. Let that be motivation for her to be
Speaker 1: able to come back and do something bigger and better.
Speaker 4: We need to see a ten to five. Yeah.
Speaker 2: The thing justin is that we look at her in
Speaker 2: the trials. She ran ten seventy one. She ran she
Speaker 2: ran high ten eighties. Do you people, I don't know
Speaker 2: if people understand how slow Now we're not talking about
Speaker 2: the world. When she ran ten sixty five, which is
Speaker 2: probably one of the four or five fastest time ever
Speaker 2: run by woman. She ran ten seventy one at the
Speaker 2: Trials and it wasn't closed today. She ran ten eight
Speaker 2: high ten eighties. That's not she carry shea KaiA can
Speaker 2: run ten eight to oh in her sleep. But but
Speaker 2: I believe the moment, the pressure, the expectations came along
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, she was she was She
Speaker 2: was steal in the Blox, I'm like, she not catching
Speaker 2: Once I saw the way that the way Julian Africk got.
Speaker 4: Out, I said, Shaki is not catching her. Not today,
Speaker 4: Not today.
Speaker 2: She'd have had to run ten sixty I don't know
Speaker 2: if she could have called her, she'd run ten sixty
Speaker 2: five with the start that she got today. Justin and
Speaker 2: then listen, and what we're trying to do. We're trying
Speaker 2: to analyze and go through the steps the cadence of
Speaker 2: what a world class runner, male or female go through.
Speaker 2: And what Justin said, what I'm trying to say is
Speaker 2: that look he said it. Dennis Mitchell said, if you
Speaker 2: run nine seven and I run nine seven.
Speaker 4: And I get you out the gate, you not catching me.
Speaker 2: It's just like a race car if we both got
Speaker 2: eight hundred horsepower and I'll get you off the line.
Speaker 2: On Joe, you care to me if I got eight
Speaker 2: hundred horse powers, you've got eight hundred horse power and
Speaker 2: with the equivalent drivers.
Speaker 4: So she had to hit that mark. She needed to
Speaker 4: be with Alfred.
Speaker 2: And then when we got to fifty, now let's see
Speaker 2: my top end have already was even with your back
Speaker 2: with your run in, and now let's see who.
Speaker 4: Can get to the last fifty meters and but I
Speaker 4: go ahead.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I always thought about someone when I think about racing. Obviously,
Speaker 5: I don't know track like that, justin. You can correct
Speaker 5: me if I'm wrong. I think there may be two phases,
Speaker 5: maybe three different phases in track. Obviously there's a start
Speaker 5: that's one phase I would assume. Then you have your
Speaker 5: drive phase, you know which I'm assuming you driving out
Speaker 5: to get out, and then I'm not sure what the
Speaker 5: third phase might get called your transition. Being able to
Speaker 5: hold that phase as long as possible, I'm assuming your strength.
Speaker 5: You don't actually turn over and get faster, You're just
Speaker 5: able to maintain that top end speed longer than everybody else.
Speaker 5: So when it comes to racers, there's a bunch of
Speaker 5: receivers in the NFL. Everybody can, but they all get
Speaker 5: open a different way. So are there runners.
Speaker 6: Or is it?
Speaker 5: Is it crazy to say that each runner has a
Speaker 5: different strength and nobody will have all three phases and
Speaker 5: be really really good at all three phases.
Speaker 4: Justin, That's the one thing I love about running one
Speaker 4: hundred meters. Man.
Speaker 1: All three of us are built different, we have different
Speaker 1: we have different attributes. We've being to the table, but
Speaker 1: all three of us could run sub ten. That's what
Speaker 1: you're looking at when you looking at those women when
Speaker 1: they get to the line, and the men, it's the
Speaker 1: fact that there's some are some are tall, some are short,
Speaker 1: some stocky, some skinny, but the fact that they all
Speaker 1: can go.
Speaker 4: You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I think you have to play on what your strengths are,
Speaker 1: but you have to mask and protect what your weaknesses are.
Speaker 1: And her in that situation is all right, we know
Speaker 1: you're not the best starter in the world. But the
Speaker 1: fact is, it's saying, like you said, you got to
Speaker 1: make sure that you get out you are striking distance,
Speaker 1: and you got to get to what you are good at,
Speaker 1: which is your top end speed. You have your start,
Speaker 1: you have your drive phase, you have your transition, you
Speaker 1: have your top end speed, and you finish.
Speaker 4: That's what it is.
Speaker 1: It's so five phases, and she's good at four of
Speaker 1: those five.
Speaker 4: You see what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Once she gets going, it's a rap and we seed it,
Speaker 1: especially through that through that prelims.
Speaker 4: If you watch her pre limbs.
Speaker 1: Them wheels were spinning when she's coming through that line,
Speaker 1: and she only caught ten nine and she was just spinning,
Speaker 1: so you noticed she had a lot left in the tank.
Speaker 4: And the confidence was there as well.
Speaker 1: Going into that finals and that Semis, it was a
Speaker 1: whole different ball game when you line up next to
Speaker 1: somebody that you know that can be a possible threat.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying now, you start second guessing
Speaker 1: exactly in those moments when you're running Olympic finals. There
Speaker 1: are no fourth quarters, they ain no two halves. You
Speaker 1: only get ten seconds for them females, You don't get
Speaker 1: nine seconds for them men. You ain't got time to think.
Speaker 1: It's all instinctual. You gotta react like a savage. You
Speaker 1: got to get out there and.
Speaker 2: Just go yeah, I agree with you, justin I'm not
Speaker 2: for sure. I'm not saying that she ought your Remember
Speaker 2: you and I was talking justin How fair would it
Speaker 2: be if Usain Boat had Christian Coleman start or had
Speaker 2: your start? It wouldn't be four fair? He runs some
Speaker 2: nine four if he had a start like that, with
Speaker 2: a top with a like what he has. But the
Speaker 2: thing is, as runners out, Joe, Once you get to
Speaker 2: a certain point, it's not about speeding up.
Speaker 4: It's about the profit. When you start to decelerate.
Speaker 2: His deceleration is so much slower than everyone else's deceleration,
Speaker 2: and so.
Speaker 4: That's why it looks like he's speeding up. He's not.
Speaker 2: It's just everybody, everybody going down a lot faster what
Speaker 2: he is, and I believe should carry. She didn't need
Speaker 2: to be second out of the block, but she couldn't
Speaker 2: be dead last out of the block, And I think
Speaker 2: that was the difference in the race, because you get
Speaker 2: somebody like Julia Laffert, who's a strong runner, who can
Speaker 2: start exceptionally well. If you spot her that much distance.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying you need to be second out of
Speaker 2: the block, but if you dad last and give up
Speaker 2: that much separation, you're not catching.
Speaker 4: You not catching, And it's the same thing, but you're
Speaker 4: about to give me some nightmares. Man. If you saying
Speaker 4: bowl had a Christian Coleman start and a You.
Speaker 1: Sain finish, I probably have to take up for a
Speaker 1: whole of the career.
Speaker 4: Brother.
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, when you look
Speaker 1: at Julian Outford and giving her praise, yes, her track
Speaker 1: record speaks for it. She's a two time NC double
Speaker 1: champion one hundred and two, one hundred.
Speaker 4: And the two hundred.
Speaker 1: Correct, she is the indoor world champion just of this year,
Speaker 1: and then she went into the final. There's one of
Speaker 1: the fastest times of the season. So she knows how
Speaker 1: to get it done in championship environments. So she and
Speaker 1: that kind of person that's sitting there hoping that she
Speaker 1: gets on a podium, She's coming to get to the
Speaker 1: top of that podium.
Speaker 4: That's what she's built. Like. Can I ask you this,
Speaker 4: what do you think?
Speaker 2: Because if you look at a lot of these a
Speaker 2: lot of these runners should carry did not run after
Speaker 2: the trials. Julian and Afford ran, no Allow ran, Rob
Speaker 2: Benjamin ran, Christian Warholme ran, Alison Dos Santos ran them
Speaker 2: Cabo ran how much because that's like a six week
Speaker 2: law in between, when you're ear to all of a
Speaker 2: sudden trying to ramp it back up in six weeks.
Speaker 2: Do you believe that played a role?
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily think so, only because I came from
Speaker 1: that same coaching system.
Speaker 4: I know Dennis is going to get you ready.
Speaker 1: He knows what he knows what's at state, and we
Speaker 1: trained extremely hard right to the point where it did
Speaker 1: give you nightmares when I retired. My body felt better
Speaker 1: retired than it did when I was in the game
Speaker 1: of play, you know what I'm saying. So we worked hard, man,
Speaker 1: So I know that she was working hard, and that
Speaker 1: moment meant everything, not only to her, but a whole
Speaker 1: training group. It meant and to her whole circle, her coaching,
Speaker 1: her agency. They knew that this moment was there for them.
Speaker 1: So I think that she was prepared physically for that moment.
Speaker 1: It's just the fact that the moment was very big. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the moment was very big.
Speaker 2: In that moment, this was a very seismic moment for
Speaker 2: the small Caribbean island of saying Lusha with a population
Speaker 2: of under two hundred thousand. Julian Alfred just went rount
Speaker 2: won the nation's first ever Olympic medal and its goal.
Speaker 2: Her time of ten seventy two is a Saint Lucian
Speaker 2: national record that puts her in the top ten all time.
Speaker 2: The margin of victory the zero point one point five
Speaker 2: the biggest winning margin in the women's one hundred meter
Speaker 2: Olympic final since Shelley and Fraser Price won in Beijing
Speaker 2: in two thousand and eight. That's how dominant, what Julian
Speaker 2: Alfred just did let that seek in the biggest margin
Speaker 2: of victory in sixteen years. We know, sha, as far
Speaker 2: as women started, ain't nobody had a start like the
Speaker 2: BOMBI Rocket, shelle Anne, Fraser Price. But here's the thing.
Speaker 2: In order for you to beat Shelle Anne. For Elaine Thompson, Herra,
Speaker 2: she had to be close because she got that flow
Speaker 2: Joe closing speed. She said, if I can just be closed,
Speaker 2: I know at fifty meters, if I'm close, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: come get you, right. But if you're not close, and hey,
Speaker 2: look a lot of those Jamaican women can get out
Speaker 2: the gate on you. I mean, we forget about Veronica
Speaker 2: Camber Brown, We forget about.
Speaker 4: Stewart, uh Ron, Stuart Start seven.
Speaker 2: Yep, Stuart Stewart, the Jamaican lady for Stuart All obviously,
Speaker 2: Marley Oddi, Julie All.
Speaker 4: I mean, Jamaica has female sprinters.
Speaker 2: I mean, we just know about over the last sight
Speaker 2: decade when you talk about Shelley and Fraser, and we
Speaker 2: talked about Marley and ODDI and we talked, we talk
Speaker 2: about some of the ones that we know.
Speaker 4: Cherika Jackson.
Speaker 2: Cherika Jackson started as a four hundred meter runner, won
Speaker 2: the bronze medal, dropped down and now here she is
Speaker 2: one of the fastest women in the world, the fastest,
Speaker 2: ran the second fastest time ever at the World's last
Speaker 2: year forty one starting the challenge in flow. Joe's record,
Speaker 2: I think her record is what twenty one thirty three,
Speaker 2: twenty one thirty four. I think it's something like that.
Speaker 2: So we we know what the Jamaican women can do.
Speaker 2: But give give Julian Alfred Juju. She put on the
Speaker 2: show today and you watch the watch party, justin and
Speaker 2: you see the way that nation. Man, you thought you
Speaker 2: were at a local bar and that was the hometown
Speaker 2: team playing in the Super bowls oh Joe or the
Speaker 2: NBA Final.
Speaker 4: The nation got behind that young lady o Joe Shannon.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you right now, like watching watching her win,
Speaker 1: and and how many people are in her country over
Speaker 1: two hundred thousand talking about seven point nine billion people
Speaker 1: in the world, you understand. And when she goes home
Speaker 1: to train, everyone in the country line up on the
Speaker 1: fence just to watch her do drills, a skips and
Speaker 1: beast skips, just to watch her train.
Speaker 4: They'd have so much love for her.
Speaker 1: She's she is one of those generational athletes that's going
Speaker 1: to help the next generation of female sprinters and male sprinters.
Speaker 1: We have confidence to say, I'm from a small island.
Speaker 1: I can get the job done too.
Speaker 6: I've done yeah.
Speaker 4: Uh uh.
Speaker 2: They're the video surface and Shelley Anne Fraser Price this
Speaker 2: is her last Olympics.
Speaker 4: She let it be known, this is my last Olympic that.
Speaker 2: I guess what's transpiring justin If you don't ride the
Speaker 2: team bus, people are having issues getting in and it
Speaker 2: seems like shir Carrie had that issue and Shelley and
Speaker 2: Fraser Price had the issue getting to the warm up area. Uh.
Speaker 2: And I guess when she got there late she ended
Speaker 2: up tweaking a hamstring. I'm not really sure. You're in
Speaker 2: Paris justin? What if you heard was the run of
Speaker 2: the the reason or one of the reasons why Shelley
Speaker 2: Anne pulled out of this ruce knowing it's her last,
Speaker 2: her last.
Speaker 1: First of all, it started off that she had hamstring issues,
Speaker 1: and then it started up that she.
Speaker 4: Wasn't let it into the warmp area.
Speaker 1: Now hearing that it's a she had to ride the
Speaker 1: bus to be able to get into the into the
Speaker 1: warm uth area.
Speaker 4: To me, Bro, It's just it's just ludicrous.
Speaker 1: First of all, in our sport, when you are a star,
Speaker 1: you come in with a private car because you dial there.
Speaker 4: You focused to get on that bus.
Speaker 1: Sometimes that bus gets overpacked there, you know, seats left,
Speaker 1: you got to sit on the floor.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Just to get to ride for twenty thirty minutes on
Speaker 1: a bus where there ain't no air conditioning, and to
Speaker 1: get to the stadium. Yes, it's a humbling experience. But
Speaker 1: where you are poised to win, or you have one
Speaker 1: Olympic gold, there should be a different level of preparation
Speaker 1: for you.
Speaker 4: We know that you can get the job done.
Speaker 1: There's no reason why she should not have been let
Speaker 1: into the warm up area to get ready for her
Speaker 1: last one hundred meters that we ever gonna see. I
Speaker 1: feel like that was a shame to the fact of
Speaker 1: altering her preparation and the legend that Mommy Rocket is.
Speaker 1: Now we're going to look back at those channels on
Speaker 1: the internet and see that vacant lane lane five and
Speaker 1: there's no Mommy Rocket there. I feel like that that
Speaker 1: hurt my heart, knowing that such a legend and your
Speaker 1: legends in your own right. Imagine that they call your
Speaker 1: name out to come out on the fielding and you
Speaker 1: don't show up because you couldn't get what you need
Speaker 1: to get done.
Speaker 4: No Olympics, she do it. We couldn't get into that.
Speaker 4: You couldn't get into the damn stadium.
Speaker 1: The Olympics shouldn't should oblige those ones that we know
Speaker 1: that are gunning for the Olympic title, because that's gonna
Speaker 1: make that's gonna make a better show for everybody.
Speaker 2: Right, Oh, Joe War Anti Clive Magic, the US four
Speaker 2: by four m mixed reelay yesterday, Dwayne Deadman, Vernond Norwood,
Speaker 2: uh Shamil Little and Brown, I forget Brown's first name.
Speaker 2: They set the Olympic. They set the world record in
Speaker 2: the four high four mixed relay. Okay today the Dutch
Speaker 2: team anchored by the legendary Famica Bold and a sub
Speaker 2: forty eight Yeah clothing split you ran forty seven ninety
Speaker 2: three and she tracked down the American to snatch gold.
Speaker 6: Go yeah, I saw that, justin saw that.
Speaker 2: Was it a mistake not to have Quincy Wilson because
Speaker 2: you took him over there and I don't get it now.
Speaker 2: He's run in the rounds at the Trials, he ran
Speaker 2: sub forty five all three rounds.
Speaker 4: His last meet. I think it was the.
Speaker 2: Edwind No, it was maybe the Edward Moses or uh
Speaker 2: the one in Florida with what's the guy the HRD
Speaker 2: Mike Halloway Holloway Grand Holloway Holloway Classic. He ran forty
Speaker 2: four to twenty, which is one of the fastest times
Speaker 2: in the world this year. Why you said, well, he
Speaker 2: doesn't have he doesn't have world experience. Well, how the
Speaker 2: hell are you gonna get it if you don't take it,
Speaker 2: If you take him cross the water, don't let him run.
Speaker 2: So what you think what did you think was gonna happen?
Speaker 2: Justin if you let the kid run, he's gonna all
Speaker 2: of a sudden blow up and run a fifty. I
Speaker 2: don't think that's gonna happen. So what do you think
Speaker 2: happened in the mixed relays other than fifthkenbol running that
Speaker 2: legendary anchor lady.
Speaker 1: So sources are saying that the Quincy Wilson injured you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, while he was at practice for
Speaker 1: the relay.
Speaker 4: So if that's the case, I hope he gets well soon.
Speaker 4: He's had an amazing season.
Speaker 1: First of all, he's pr four times this season as
Speaker 1: a sixty year old. He ran a whole youth season.
Speaker 1: Then he went to big boy trials, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. He went out there to Olympic Trials, handled
Speaker 1: his business Olympic Trials, made the relay team, and then
Speaker 1: he went overseas to run races as well. So he
Speaker 1: dropped that forty four twenty, which makes him the third
Speaker 1: fastest American this season, and he ran stride for stride,
Speaker 1: but one of the fastest Americans this whole season to
Speaker 1: be able to get that forty four to twenty, and
Speaker 1: that means he's about the top five fastest times of
Speaker 1: the year throughout the world, you understand. So, yeah, maybe
Speaker 1: his leg's a little tired, But if he wasn't injured,
Speaker 1: there was no reason why you don't use this young
Speaker 1: athlete on the team. That gives other opportunity to be
Speaker 1: able to rest the athletes that are critical in your finals. Right,
Speaker 1: So if you rested Bryce Deadman for the prelim, you
Speaker 1: put Quincy Wilson in there, He's gonna show out and
Speaker 1: you're not gonna have a real, look at what the finals.
Speaker 1: Team USA is going to do in the finals. Now
Speaker 1: you're kind of leaving everybody or guessing what they look like.
Speaker 1: They broke the world record, which is bittersweet because they
Speaker 1: broke the world record at third three premium three minutes
Speaker 1: seven seconds and three minutes seven and forty forty one seconds.
Speaker 4: Was the world record they smashed right to win.
Speaker 1: The gold was three minutes, seven seconds point forty three,
Speaker 1: So literally just a couple of hundreds of seconds away
Speaker 1: from breaking that world record or they could have got
Speaker 1: that Olympic gold.
Speaker 4: And that's the difference. Yep.
Speaker 2: Look justin you you ran you, You had a fifteen
Speaker 2: year career at that level.
Speaker 4: You was running sub damn there.
Speaker 2: You and Kim Collins might be the only tu that's
Speaker 2: ever run sub sub tea then forty years of age,
Speaker 2: so you know the margins of victory. It's not like
Speaker 2: high school. You're not finna be blowing these people out
Speaker 2: of the water. These people can run. And look, I
Speaker 2: get it, like when you're running, you in the moment
Speaker 2: and they stayed on the gas. The anchor leg I
Speaker 2: was listening to Richard Ross, She's like, she's still on
Speaker 2: the gas. I thought she would back off and save
Speaker 2: some in the tank. There was no reason to break
Speaker 2: the world record. Because you break the world record in
Speaker 2: the prelims and you don't.
Speaker 4: Get gold, people are gonna be scratching your head.
Speaker 2: Was like, damn, did you leave some of that on
Speaker 2: the track the day before? We oh tell you know,
Speaker 2: we're talking like, hey, save some of them catches for
Speaker 2: next week, or save some of those baskets for next week.
Speaker 2: Don't use them all up right now. So if you're
Speaker 2: the coach of that team, what would you have said,
Speaker 2: what would have been your strategy justin going into a
Speaker 2: week A let's just win to make sure we qualify.
Speaker 2: We don't we're not out for a world record. We
Speaker 2: just want to make sure we qualify and then let's
Speaker 2: drop the hammer in the finals.
Speaker 1: I think right now, it's kind of what the same
Speaker 1: thing is going on with the mess basketball.
Speaker 4: The world's catching up to you. The world catching up
Speaker 4: to you.
Speaker 1: You have a lot of international athletes who come to
Speaker 1: America to get trained by American coaches at American institutes,
Speaker 1: so they're understanding the ideology that we have when it
Speaker 1: comes to competing at a high level.
Speaker 4: Right But the thing is happening now.
Speaker 1: Is the fact of as if I was that relay coach,
Speaker 1: I would say, go out there, qualify, that's all we
Speaker 1: need to do. Qualify, get to that get to that finals.
Speaker 1: Then you let loose, get that goal and that world record.
Speaker 1: Then you gonna catch everybody off guard. But now the
Speaker 1: fact of they gave Fimketball and Team Netherlands a look,
Speaker 1: you guys running three minutes and seven seconds. Okay, cool,
Speaker 1: We're gonna be ready for that when it comes to
Speaker 1: the finals. They came out with the same quartet, so
Speaker 1: they knew exactly what that order was gonna be.
Speaker 4: They knew exactly how they were gonna run.
Speaker 6: And of the and of the.
Speaker 4: Fact of you've been in broke.
Speaker 2: We have a little technical difficulties with Justin's Mike. He
Speaker 2: is in Paris later, so forgive us. And it's the
Speaker 2: wee hours of the morning, so we greatly greatly appreciate
Speaker 2: just taking time out of his busy schedule, staying up
Speaker 2: night late night with us to break down these races.
Speaker 2: I agree with you, but Harr's the difference is is
Speaker 2: that you see they brought fimcam. Now is that forty
Speaker 2: seven ninety gonna take something out of her legs for
Speaker 2: the four hundred, because you know, seeing Sid wants to
Speaker 2: be She's thought of right now as the greatest four
Speaker 2: hundred meter a female woman's hurdler in the history. There's
Speaker 2: something to be said about a two time Olympic chair
Speaker 2: because for me, justin I believe this will be a
Speaker 2: last four hundred. I believe Bobby and her will focus
Speaker 2: on the open four hundred. It to make her the greater,
Speaker 2: the greatest middle distance sprinter in the history.
Speaker 4: If she can win a goal, win two goals in.
Speaker 2: The Olympics and the four hundred hurdles and the world
Speaker 2: and then turn around and in the World Championship win
Speaker 2: the four hundred gold sitting up for twenty twenty eight
Speaker 2: to win the four hundred, it ain't even close.
Speaker 4: At the end of the day.
Speaker 1: You got to look at what fimkabos bil fimber Cabal
Speaker 1: is building a campaign to show how great she is. Yes,
Speaker 1: Sydney's chasing history. Filmic cabal is chasing Sydney to history.
Speaker 1: But what's gonna happen is Sydney can't make no mistakes
Speaker 1: in her race.
Speaker 4: She can't hit.
Speaker 1: Or hurdle she can't stutter step film caball is gonna
Speaker 1: be right there in that picture frame with accounts. Do
Speaker 1: I think that that running that forty four to seven,
Speaker 1: to run that forty seven in that mixed relays is
Speaker 1: going to tax filmkeball.
Speaker 4: No, she's trained for that this whole season.
Speaker 1: She could running mixed relays from the World Relays all
Speaker 1: the way through to now, so her body's ready for that.
Speaker 4: It's used to it.
Speaker 5: M Hey, you know when I think, when I think
Speaker 5: about it, they set the world record and then you
Speaker 5: come back and to gas out on the last You know,
Speaker 5: I'm assuming gas that. You know that that monkey jump
Speaker 5: on your back which allowed the Netherlands or Hollering for
Speaker 5: that matter, to close the gaps when we weren't able
Speaker 5: to where we weren't.
Speaker 6: Able to win goal.
Speaker 5: Is there any other methods that you guys go through
Speaker 5: in preparation for after running a race like that to
Speaker 5: kind of recover a little bit faster outside of cold
Speaker 5: tub ice tub massages. Is there anything else you guys
Speaker 5: can do to kind of refresh your legs after an
Speaker 5: event like that.
Speaker 1: Not necessarily, we do have the state of our trainers
Speaker 1: that come with us, you know, for a team for
Speaker 1: Team USA. So everyone's on deck making sure these athletes
Speaker 1: are ready for the next next event or the next
Speaker 1: round for the finals. So I think they're gonna be
Speaker 1: in great hands when you look at somebody like Filkeball,
Speaker 1: she ran from fourth place to first place.
Speaker 4: That's hard to do it, ready, if you already in lead.
Speaker 1: Team USA was already in lead by a margin, So
Speaker 1: for her to run people down one by one to
Speaker 1: get to the front, what do you do. The only
Speaker 1: thing you can do is you got to go into
Speaker 1: your arsenal and get a bigger doune. You gotta go
Speaker 1: get someone like tap City on the shoulder and say, City,
Speaker 1: we need you for this mixed relay. We got to
Speaker 1: see what we can do, because now that's the only
Speaker 1: thing you really can do.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, okay, yeah, it's gonna be be very interesting
Speaker 2: the women's four by four, because you know Sydney normally
Speaker 2: runs like second or third leg. They might save see
Speaker 2: it for the anchor leg, just in case it comes
Speaker 2: down to Filmica and this thing's closed. Now that's what
Speaker 2: I want to see. I want to see. I believe,
Speaker 2: I believe if fim Cabol has anything less than a
Speaker 2: five meter lead.
Speaker 4: See it the go get her.
Speaker 2: I've seen Seid run open four forty eight to seventy
Speaker 2: five and not be pushed. I've seen a run twenty
Speaker 2: two point zero seven and really not be pushed. I
Speaker 2: believe she can go. She might be the first since
Speaker 2: Metalin of Coat in eighty five to go below forty eight.
Speaker 1: Justin Well, first of all, you making my appetite for
Speaker 1: a competition kind of like spark right now, doc to
Speaker 1: watch Sydney run down film Cabal in the finals of
Speaker 1: the of the women's four by four with five me
Speaker 1: if with five me the game boy, that is going
Speaker 1: to be amazing to watch.
Speaker 4: Man give it two. Five might be too much. Five
Speaker 4: might be too much.
Speaker 2: Because but here's the thing we've seen when people are
Speaker 2: prop clussier to filmka.
Speaker 4: We saw in the World Championship.
Speaker 2: We saw when the girl put that pressure and started
Speaker 2: to ease up on him. We saw it tied up.
Speaker 2: You see, it's either to run from behind that is
Speaker 2: the front.
Speaker 4: Justine.
Speaker 2: You know this because you get to relax now all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, because if she doesn't come back, ain't
Speaker 2: nobody saying nothing. Everybody said, well, man, look how far
Speaker 2: she had to come from. But when you in the
Speaker 2: front and you feel that pressure and that crowd, and
Speaker 2: they start standing and they start chomping at the bit,
Speaker 2: and you hear that crowd. You don't even if you
Speaker 2: don't look at the board, justin you hear it. You
Speaker 2: know it, you can feel it. Now all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: you're like, damn, my ham streets started to oo. Now
Speaker 2: you start running straight up, you start looking like Michael Johnson.
Speaker 1: Running and see it come absolutely, boy, if they come
Speaker 1: over the hood, whoop in Paris the an Olympics.
Speaker 4: Boy, I'm gonna come out of a timing. Boy. That's
Speaker 4: that's it. The table.
Speaker 6: To be dope.
Speaker 2: We look at Ryan Krauser three times. He's the first
Speaker 2: man in history to win three consecutive shot put the
Speaker 2: shot win the shot put three consecutive Olympics with three
Speaker 2: gold medal in the Olympics. He's put it away on
Speaker 2: his first throw. I think he went twenty two to
Speaker 2: sixty four meters and then he finished it off with
Speaker 2: a twenty two point nine zero meters not quite as
Speaker 2: world record, but he put it away early.
Speaker 4: So what Ryan Krauser likes to do, he likes to
Speaker 4: get that big throw first, come catch him.
Speaker 1: If you catch him, if you can, absolutely, that's gonna
Speaker 1: pu pressure on the rest of the competition. If I
Speaker 1: put that big throw out there, then you ain't focus
Speaker 1: on how you your technique is. You ain't focus on
Speaker 1: what you and your coach have been working on all year.
Speaker 1: You're trying to go get that gold medal. You're trying
Speaker 1: to get that mark. And at the end of the day, Hey,
Speaker 1: that many people in the world has ever thrown that
Speaker 1: far before except for Ryan Krause. So now your whole
Speaker 1: game plan is all off tilt, now you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. So he knows what he's doing and he's
Speaker 1: doing it over and over and over again. The point
Speaker 1: is he needs to go ahead and clone himself so
Speaker 1: he can have some competition because right now he's running
Speaker 1: away with it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, only Big Joe can consistently. And this is the
Speaker 2: third straight Olympic that the Americans have gone one two
Speaker 2: in the shot put. Ryan Krauser's won the last three,
Speaker 2: Joe Kovacs has been won the silver medal. Joe's like, man,
Speaker 2: I don't know what the hell like, I don't know
Speaker 2: what I can do because we know at any given
Speaker 2: moment Ryan Krauzer can unload a world record, a mythical
Speaker 2: world record that we thought. I remember, I'm old enough
Speaker 2: to remember, justin when Randy Barnes through that world record,
Speaker 2: I think seventy five ten back at eighty eight, and
Speaker 2: I was like.
Speaker 4: Ain't nobody ever gonna break that record?
Speaker 2: And here in lor and behold we get a six
Speaker 2: foot five Orgonian over three hundred pounds and he's seventy six,
Speaker 2: and I mean he obliterated the record. It wasn't a
Speaker 2: couple of feet, you know. I think Timmerman had the
Speaker 2: record before Randy Barnes broke it. But he's just he's,
Speaker 2: like you said, he's in a class by himself right
Speaker 2: now throwing that sixteen pound metal ball.
Speaker 4: List you as.
Speaker 1: You come across athlete, you come across athlete like Ryan
Speaker 1: Sidney or are you saying they just say do your best,
Speaker 1: do your best?
Speaker 2: Let mask give us your preliminary what you think, what
Speaker 2: you think is gonna happen in the one hundred meters.
Speaker 2: We got the men, we got no allows, we got
Speaker 2: Cashane Thompson, we got over laque Seville h We've got
Speaker 2: Kenny Banerik, we got Fred clerk curly. We got the
Speaker 2: the Italian that won the I forget his name, Marcelle Jacobs,
Speaker 2: justin Marcel Jacobs who ran nine eight Ryan nine eighty,
Speaker 2: but he has not been in that form since he's
Speaker 2: been nicked all the way.
Speaker 4: You got to me.
Speaker 2: So you've got some guys that are right there, but
Speaker 2: seems to be the overwhelming favorite. It's Kase Shane Thompson,
Speaker 2: since he laid down that nine to seventy seven. No
Speaker 2: allows did run an which is a lifetime best. Again,
Speaker 2: he's not the best starter. The two hundred meters is
Speaker 2: his best race because it gives them a chance to
Speaker 2: build up.
Speaker 4: But it ain't no building up in one hundred meters, No,
Speaker 4: not at all.
Speaker 1: I think what's gonna happen in this situation is Keyshane
Speaker 1: is right now is the favorite, right on paper for sure.
Speaker 1: When you watch him race and you watch him go
Speaker 1: through the rounds, I mean you go through his practices
Speaker 1: and you see the videos, he looks like a rocket
Speaker 1: coming out the blocks, he looks strong, and watching him
Speaker 1: run that nine to seven and shutting it down at
Speaker 1: the Jamaican Trials look gave me. It gave me nightmares
Speaker 1: and I'm retired, you know what I mean. So when
Speaker 1: you watching, when you watch an individual like that, the
Speaker 1: only thing you can do is you got to turn
Speaker 1: it into a foot race.
Speaker 4: Noah Llows got to turn into a foot race.
Speaker 1: Fred Curley and the rest of the guys, they got
Speaker 1: to meet him at the fifty five meter mark when
Speaker 1: he goes and tries to take off. You gotta go
Speaker 1: stride for stride with an individual like that because someone
Speaker 1: like him, he doesn't need to run through the line.
Speaker 1: He shuts it down before he gets to the line.
Speaker 1: Show him something different, Go stride for stride with him
Speaker 1: for the last to twenty meters and see exactly what
Speaker 1: he's made of. That's what you only gonna get on
Speaker 1: top of that podium if you run strivee for try
Speaker 1: to make him dot die for that line. That's where
Speaker 1: you're gonna see a different key shame. But you gotta
Speaker 1: go and you gotta surprise him. You got to go
Speaker 1: stride for try with half of the half of the
Speaker 1: race to go.
Speaker 5: And the funny thing about that, when you when you
Speaker 5: mentioned that being able to go strive for stride, that
Speaker 5: means you got to get out with him too. So
Speaker 5: your footspeed, your turnover, your transition at the at the
Speaker 5: very beginning has to be that much better, that much
Speaker 5: faster than what you used to running. And then when
Speaker 5: you when you when you factor in the pressure situation
Speaker 5: because of who you're running with, the nervousness, the butterflies.
Speaker 5: Obviously I've never been in that position, but I'm thinking
Speaker 5: about the nervousness when it would just tire me just
Speaker 5: to play a regular game on Sunday. So I could
Speaker 5: imagine in Paris at the Olympics, you know, represent your country.
Speaker 5: It got to be not the worst feeling, but such
Speaker 5: an adrilling rush where you want to perfect all the
Speaker 5: work you put in for the last four years to
Speaker 5: a t and refer it to a science and the
Speaker 5: fact that you have someone that's ran nine seven and
Speaker 5: that's in the back of your mind. It has to be.
Speaker 5: It has to be, and I'm excited. I'm excited to
Speaker 5: see it and hopefully you really there's nothing. It's not
Speaker 5: like magic. You can't just change your routine, you can't
Speaker 5: change your technique. It just like you said, you got
Speaker 5: to show him something different.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm gonna make sure that.
Speaker 6: I'm hoping we can do it. I'm hoping.
Speaker 4: I think we have a good shot at you know
Speaker 4: those guys.
Speaker 1: When you look at Fred Curley, you know he's built
Speaker 1: with a lot of grit. He loves, he loves to
Speaker 1: be able to have that adversity, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: to go through. And when you look at someone like
Speaker 1: no Allows, he's a showman. He's kind of like a
Speaker 1: usane boat when the pressure is on and lights turn on,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna give it my book, I'm gonna show
Speaker 1: up and I'm ana show out. So I think tam
Speaker 1: Usa has an arsenal to go out there and upset
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Keyshane. But Keishane is the enigma.
Speaker 1: No one's ever seen him in the championship. No one's
Speaker 1: ever seen him. No one hasn't really raced against them either.
Speaker 1: So now it's a whole new look. So when that
Speaker 1: gun goes off, your heart gonna be beating very fast
Speaker 1: because this is somebody you never race against. You never
Speaker 1: had an opportunity to watch film on really, so you
Speaker 1: got to go out there and just run light pole
Speaker 1: to light pole like back in the day.
Speaker 4: I like that. I think you said something very interesting justin.
Speaker 4: I remember my coach.
Speaker 2: I was running the I was running third leg of
Speaker 2: the four hundred meters in the relay, and the guy
Speaker 2: he ran to open four and he had done got out,
Speaker 2: and you know, cause you know.
Speaker 4: Back then we could switch the stagger.
Speaker 2: It was like, okay, you pisciling to run the third leg,
Speaker 2: the second leg, acre leg. We was moving people around,
Speaker 2: according so coach say, hey, coach wished just around. I
Speaker 2: was supposed to be the anchor because it was gonna
Speaker 2: be too far ahead, and so he told me to
Speaker 2: go to third leg. And so I was like, coach,
Speaker 2: what you want me to do? He said, sucker, you
Speaker 2: got to put him to the tab, make him run,
Speaker 2: make him run the entire don't let him relax.
Speaker 4: So what I.
Speaker 2: Did is is that I ran and I pulled up
Speaker 2: beside it. So now he got to go. He's got
Speaker 2: to run faster than he thought he was gonna have
Speaker 2: to run. But I said, oh, it's something told me.
Speaker 2: I said, I'm gonna stay here as long as I
Speaker 2: can because I want to see how I can be
Speaker 2: uncomfortable longer than you can, bro but because I know
Speaker 2: what I've done.
Speaker 4: But we're gonna see when we got to that. When
Speaker 4: we turned got into the curve.
Speaker 2: I say I should go. I said, no, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: sit right here. I ha, hey, I'm gonna sit right
Speaker 2: here on him because he know I was there. He
Speaker 2: kept looking, he kept kept glancing. Once I saw him
Speaker 2: glance that last time, I said, I got it. When
Speaker 2: we pulled out, you hit it. We had that.
Speaker 4: Last eight I looked at him.
Speaker 2: I put the batar, I put ay. I put the
Speaker 2: baton in his face. I told you, and I turned
Speaker 2: it over to the anchor leg and we brought it home.
Speaker 2: But that's the thing, what you're saying about what they're
Speaker 2: gonna have to do to Kashin. You gotta put him
Speaker 2: to the test. If you let him be Scott three
Speaker 2: and fifty meterings, you're not gonna be able to touch it.
Speaker 2: You gotta make him run those first fifty meters because
Speaker 2: Noah had the top end speed that if I'm with
Speaker 2: you for fifty meters or I'm a step behind you
Speaker 2: at fifty, I can bring it home.
Speaker 1: Absolutely yea. And that's what it's gonna take. It's gonna
Speaker 1: take that grit, you know what I mean. You gotta
Speaker 1: put up. You gotta put question in his mind or
Speaker 1: doubt in his mind when you strive for strial and
Speaker 1: he be like, oh, man, I ain't running nine seven.
Speaker 1: I must be running nine to nine or something like that,
Speaker 1: because you right next to me, but in reality you
Speaker 1: are running nine seven. But I am too, because I'm
Speaker 1: with you.
Speaker 2: Right tobogo the books wanting he's run he's what he
Speaker 2: hasn't he run like nine eight? He's run nine eight
Speaker 2: this year nine He's a legit. There's a Kenyon that's
Speaker 2: run nine to seven nine. So there have been some
Speaker 2: There are a couple of guys that are in the
Speaker 2: one hundred meters field justin that's run a faster time
Speaker 2: than Noah's lifetime best. Kashane nine seven seven, the guy
Speaker 2: I forget, the guy from from Kenya. He yes, yes,
Speaker 2: So there are some guys in there. So but here's
Speaker 2: the thing, and you know this. Every Olympic we saw
Speaker 2: uh a softa power come to the line with the
Speaker 2: fastest time in the world leading into the Olympics, and
Speaker 2: every time he ain't getting on the podium. So just
Speaker 2: because you got the fastest time over there in Paris
Speaker 2: or the Diamond League or whatever the case may be,
Speaker 2: your trials. Can you run that time when it matters? Oh,
Speaker 2: you remember the mark of any great office or defense.
Speaker 2: Can you do what you need to get done when
Speaker 2: you have to get it done well? Can you run
Speaker 2: nine seven an Olympic final? Can you run nine seven
Speaker 2: nine an Olympic? If you can't, that's gonna be the
Speaker 2: difference in the ball game, Justine.
Speaker 4: Absolutely.
Speaker 1: When you think about these countries like Jamaica, those athletes
Speaker 1: carry a lot of pride. But also what comes with
Speaker 1: that pride is because they putting that whole country on
Speaker 1: their back. Yes, so you know you got it. That's
Speaker 1: what you gotta play Kate too. You gotta play Kate too.
Speaker 1: All right, you got that pride, you're gonna show up.
Speaker 1: But what about that pressure? That pressure heavy, you gotta
Speaker 1: We're gonna test that pressure. And that's what Team USA
Speaker 1: has to do. They gotta test that pressure. And the
Speaker 1: rest of the field gotta do that too, because that's
Speaker 1: what's really gonna take because at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: write down on paper, it's key Shane's all the way,
Speaker 1: But it's gonna take a real person that to step
Speaker 1: on to that stard line and finish first.
Speaker 4: He's gonna have to have the start of his life. Yes,
Speaker 4: he's gonna have to start.
Speaker 2: He's gonna have to start, have the start of his life,
Speaker 2: his best start, his reaction time.
Speaker 4: I'm not saying he.
Speaker 2: Needs to be Christian Coleman, but he's gonna have to
Speaker 2: have the start of his life. Because the thing is,
Speaker 2: if you let Kashan get Kashane get out there and relax.
Speaker 4: You know, a relaxed runner is a dangerous runner. Of Justin,
Speaker 4: it is. And that's what he was able to get
Speaker 4: to the lead in the Olympic trials.
Speaker 2: And that's why he can sit it down because he
Speaker 2: know once he got to the front, he knows the
Speaker 2: beliefs of Bill. I don't have that kind of top
Speaker 2: end speed to travel. He knows none of those other
Speaker 2: guys having a top end speed the challenging. So now
Speaker 2: he could just sit down.
Speaker 4: I can relax.
Speaker 2: Justin, you know the guy when they got that league,
Speaker 2: Oh goodness, look at that stick.
Speaker 4: That's how he looked. That's how he looked at it.
Speaker 4: But he looked up at the screen.
Speaker 1: He's just running half of the race is read and
Speaker 1: looking up at the screen. But relaxed, relax and as
Speaker 1: soon and as soon as somebody pull up on him
Speaker 1: and put him to the test.
Speaker 4: Yup, got to tighten up.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's take a look at the women's two hundred meters.
Speaker 2: The favorite hasn't been running well this year. I don't
Speaker 2: know if she's an injured Srika Jackson. She pulled out
Speaker 2: of the one hundred meters. She's like her and her
Speaker 2: coach decided that the best of the best chance for
Speaker 2: her to win the medal of the gold medal within
Speaker 2: the two hundred, But I don't know. Has she been
Speaker 2: under twenty two this year? She hasn't looked like the
Speaker 2: su Rika Jackson that ran twenty one forty one and
Speaker 2: at the World Championship and Eugene obviously, Gavin Thomas has
Speaker 2: been amazing. When you try to when you break this
Speaker 2: race down, what are you looking at? What's going to
Speaker 2: surprise you? What's going to be the difference? If Serrika
Speaker 2: is healthy.
Speaker 1: Is favor If Serika's healthy and we know how Srika
Speaker 1: could run, in my mind, she's a favorite.
Speaker 4: You know, she gets a job done.
Speaker 1: In the last couple of years, it wasn't about her winning,
Speaker 1: it was about her chasing that world record, that float
Speaker 1: joe record. She's the closest one to get to it,
Speaker 1: so I think the confidence is at a different level,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. She's become a world champion.
Speaker 1: She knows what it takes to be a champion. So
Speaker 1: the byproduct is the gold medal. The fact is, I
Speaker 1: want to go after that world record, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. So I think a healthy Shika could get
Speaker 1: the job done. But if it's a not healthy Shika,
Speaker 1: and I'm only reading through the words of listening to
Speaker 1: her press conferences and when you talk about preserving your
Speaker 1: energy or your health, you know what I mean, just
Speaker 1: to see if I have an opportunity to win just
Speaker 1: in the two hundred, not over the hundred, and we
Speaker 1: know she could do damage in both. She's ran ten
Speaker 1: sixty in the hundred, so she's one of the fastest
Speaker 1: females in the world bar none know that she can
Speaker 1: get the job done there. I think that she's buying
Speaker 1: time for her and whatever her little knickknack injuries may be,
Speaker 1: to be able to make sure that she's at least
Speaker 1: close to one hundred percent as possible when she goes
Speaker 1: out there for that two hundred. But at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, you cannot count out Gabby. Gabby has
Speaker 1: shown that she can get the job done. She does
Speaker 1: it with grace, she does it with poise. It almost
Speaker 1: shows like a two point oh of Alison Felix. She
Speaker 1: glides and she prances across that track, but she powers
Speaker 1: it home that last fifty meter. That's what Gabby's dangerous.
Speaker 1: At her last races, she just ran. She wasn't even
Speaker 1: the first place with twenty meters to go, and she
Speaker 1: served on them.
Speaker 4: He ran out Julian Affert and Anita and Dina have
Speaker 4: that's what we're talking about. And Julian for just ran
Speaker 4: ten seven.
Speaker 1: So that that tells you exactly what Gabby has an
Speaker 1: up her sleeve for this two.
Speaker 4: She in shape and she ready.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's gonna be That's gonna be a good one.
Speaker 4: Oh Joe.
Speaker 2: Obviously the man Noah is the overwhelming. But the grass
Speaker 2: he wanted last, he wanted last Olympic cycle. You have
Speaker 2: Kennan Baner. He put a he pushed Noah all the
Speaker 2: way to the line. You got Arion nineteen, the American
Speaker 2: that's run nineteen sixty. You got Banig that's run nineteen
Speaker 2: fifty nine. You got the grass that's run nineteen sixty two.
Speaker 2: You got a Noah allowed to run nineteen thirty one
Speaker 2: handicapped this race.
Speaker 1: Noah, that's his that's his baby. He loves that two hundred.
Speaker 1: That's where he thrives at. Right He's ventured into the
Speaker 1: world of the one hundred meters and he's been successful
Speaker 1: so far. But that baby is his two hundred. That's
Speaker 1: where it's pride, his ego lies. He can't lose. Since
Speaker 1: he got that bronze medal in twenty twenty one, He's
Speaker 1: never lost a two hundred meters since then he's been
Speaker 1: so he's gonna come out ready to roll, no matter
Speaker 1: what happened. I think we froze a little bit there
Speaker 1: we go before that, Before that, you look.
Speaker 4: Eran the fresh legs.
Speaker 1: Yet the fresh legs, he hasn't run this season. He's
Speaker 1: only ran test tricks up his sleeve. He always has
Speaker 1: tricks up his sleep. He every chip is a more
Speaker 1: mature athlete than he's ever been in his life. Right
Speaker 1: now he's poison. I think he's gonna do damage hundred
Speaker 1: meters and I think he has uh his name on
Speaker 1: that podium for that two hundred meters, So I think
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a tight race.
Speaker 4: It's actually gonna we have.
Speaker 2: A little technical difficulties with with Noah, excuse me, with
Speaker 2: Justin Gatlin. Remember, guys, he is in Paris. There is
Speaker 2: a substantial Uh, there's a sixth hour. He's not He's
Speaker 2: nine hours from where we are right now, six hours
Speaker 2: in the coast, nine hours on the west coast. When
Speaker 2: I look at kennybin are you surprised that Kenny Binik
Speaker 2: was able to drop down to one hundred meters and
Speaker 2: have the level of success we saw Fred Fred came
Speaker 2: down from the form all the way down to the one.
Speaker 2: I don't know if Kenny might have ransom for I'm
Speaker 2: sure he did in high school and maybe in college.
Speaker 2: When you have that kind of speed, they throw hell,
Speaker 2: you probably ransom four of the meters in the high school.
Speaker 2: In college they throw you asside there you're that fast.
Speaker 2: But are you surprised the level of success that Kenned
Speaker 2: Beinerrick has been able to have and the one hundred
Speaker 2: meters after not really running hundred meters, say, the first
Speaker 2: five six years of his career, especially on an international.
Speaker 4: Level, No, not at all.
Speaker 1: Actually I trained with Kenny before I retired, So I
Speaker 1: watched him compete. You know, I know that he has
Speaker 1: I know he has that go, but he has his
Speaker 1: acceleration is unmatched. It's the fact that he needs to
Speaker 1: make sure his timing at the end of his races.
Speaker 4: Is there. Same thing with Fred Curley.
Speaker 1: I was the first one to race Fred Curly when
Speaker 1: he dropped down from the four to the hundred, and
Speaker 1: he beat me in one hundred meters. I was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: it's a four hundred beater runer. I ain't got nothing
Speaker 1: to worry about. Boy. I could not drop him up
Speaker 1: at the fifty meter barck. He was still with me
Speaker 1: and he beat me. I was like, I told the world, yo,
Speaker 1: watch out man, Fred Curly ready boy, And he went
Speaker 1: on to become He went on to become a world champion.
Speaker 1: So when you look at guys like that, they're poised
Speaker 1: to do great things across the board from the four
Speaker 1: all the way down to the one hundred.
Speaker 4: They have that talent.
Speaker 2: So if you had the handicaps race and you picking
Speaker 2: who you thinks on the podium in the.
Speaker 1: Two hundred, I'm gonna go Noah, Kenny. I think it's
Speaker 1: gonna be American sweep. I'm gonna go Noah, Kenny Arian.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm trying to When was the last time we
Speaker 2: swept the two hundred meters?
Speaker 4: Do you do we have to go back to eighty.
Speaker 1: Four for Olympics? Probably do? Yeah, we probably do. We
Speaker 1: have to go back far Man, cause I think.
Speaker 4: That was the year. Who was it was it?
Speaker 2: Uh, Carl Lewis, I think Kurrent Baptist and Thomas Jefferson.
Speaker 4: It was a Mike Marsh. I think it was Mike
Speaker 4: Marsh and there.
Speaker 2: In eighty four. Are you sure he was? He was
Speaker 2: Mike Martin. That's a little bit. Yeah, that's about.
Speaker 1: Little Yeah, that's a little earlier than Mike Marsh, So
Speaker 1: probably I.
Speaker 4: Think Mike Marsh might have been like ninety two, but
Speaker 4: it was a sweep. I think. I think Thomas Jefferson.
Speaker 2: I don't because Jodan Loach, Joda Loach was eighty eight.
Speaker 2: I think JOEA. Loach, y'all. I don't know why I
Speaker 2: want to say that, you.
Speaker 1: Know what, it was eighty eight because I think eighty
Speaker 1: four was a boycott year.
Speaker 4: That was a boycott year. No, eighty was the boycott year.
Speaker 4: Eighty was the boycott year.
Speaker 2: Was in Moscow because the Soviet inveloded that Afghanistan, and
Speaker 2: so the Russians repaid us the favor when it was
Speaker 2: in the eighty four, when it was in La so
Speaker 2: they repaid us the favor after we boycotted there assid
Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty. But I know we as a matter
Speaker 2: of matter of fact, hell, we might have swept on
Speaker 2: a hundred meters too, because I know Sam Graddy Sam
Speaker 2: Sam Graddy card One said da da got your Tennessee alone,
Speaker 2: like yourself. He went to the north side Atlanta, And I
Speaker 2: think ron Brown might have got the got the bronze.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we might have swept both of them. Yeah, yep,
Speaker 4: I think that was it. That was one hundred.
Speaker 2: But uh, I was, I was. I was a sophomore
Speaker 2: in high school and now I remember that. Then the relay, Look,
Speaker 2: we had three women in the fight. We got silver
Speaker 2: and bronze. Gabby so Cha Carry will probably run anchor.
Speaker 2: It'll probably be the same team that won the world
Speaker 2: and ran one of the fastest time in the history
Speaker 2: of the women's relay.
Speaker 4: So Gabby will probably anchor. No Car will anchor.
Speaker 2: Gabby will run third leg because she can run the
Speaker 2: turn like no other t t who made the Olympic
Speaker 2: finals in the one hundred meters you'll run, You'll run
Speaker 2: the second leg and Jefferson will get out the gate
Speaker 2: for us if we could, ain't no reason we shouldn't
Speaker 2: challenge the world record and win.
Speaker 4: To go.
Speaker 1: You sound like right now, Shannon, you sound like you
Speaker 1: sound like my co hosts am ready said go. He said,
Speaker 1: the women the four point one they about to break
Speaker 1: the world record.
Speaker 4: Man, is there's some news to be honest, man, I
Speaker 4: mean if you look at who's usually.
Speaker 1: Our formidable opponent is Jamaica, and right now they're pretty dismantled.
Speaker 4: Yeah, becomes no E.
Speaker 1: Laane Trick is probably injured, and then we don't know
Speaker 1: exactly what's going on with Shelley Ann.
Speaker 4: So we have to see exactly Team USA has it
Speaker 4: right there.
Speaker 1: It should be an easy win for them, and it
Speaker 1: should be a world record for them.
Speaker 2: But that word, I mean, you got They're gonna have
Speaker 2: to this. The batar is gonna have to be perfect
Speaker 2: because that forty eight, that forty point eight two, I
Speaker 2: mean think about what they are bliterate moving, I mean,
Speaker 2: they didn't creep after world record is justin they blew
Speaker 2: it out of the water. They went sub forty one,
Speaker 2: which and women nobody thought that was even possible for
Speaker 2: women to go something because the Russians had that.
Speaker 4: I think the Russians of the East. Germans had that
Speaker 4: record for damn in German, that's who it was. It
Speaker 4: was a Germans yep, yep, and so nobody thought sub
Speaker 4: forty one.
Speaker 2: They're like, okay, yeah, somebody would probably get forty I
Speaker 2: think the world record at the time was forty one
Speaker 2: thirty And somebody's like, well, did somebody probably run forty
Speaker 2: one twenty five to go from what they were running
Speaker 2: to forty point eight two?
Speaker 1: To listen, when you think about it, those three women
Speaker 1: that they trained together, t T Terry, Melissa Jefferson, Shakerry
Speaker 1: Richardson iron sharpens, irons, they trained together. They know how
Speaker 1: to get the job done, and they're not happy with
Speaker 1: the result from the one hundred, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So they gonna come back to make sure they get
Speaker 1: their goal and seal that deal. And what's the better
Speaker 1: way to seal the deal. Make sure you get a
Speaker 1: goal or a world record with it.
Speaker 6: Two mmm, I like it.
Speaker 2: So see, they're a question where are the best sprinters
Speaker 2: from Are they from Florida?
Speaker 4: DA?
Speaker 2: Are they from Teata? Are they from calif Florida? Seemed
Speaker 2: like Virginia says, hey, we raising our hand. Georgia say, hey,
Speaker 2: throw us in the mix. What the what state produces
Speaker 2: the best?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you, just like this, Texas makes the
Speaker 1: most fast runners, but Florida makes the best fast runners.
Speaker 1: For whatever reason. When you have a sprinter from Florida,
Speaker 1: they the best in the world. Boy, Christian Miller, Xavier Carter,
Speaker 1: myself is different.
Speaker 4: Different, it's different. We could be one of one every night,
Speaker 4: one of one.
Speaker 2: Bro.
Speaker 1: We don't need we don't need a whole arsenal of sprinters.
Speaker 1: We just need one or two were good. We're gonna
Speaker 1: take over the world.
Speaker 4: But Jeff, I don't know if people realize this.
Speaker 2: You started out as a as a hurdlers, attend.
Speaker 4: The hurdler and drop down. Why did you drop down?
Speaker 4: I just had extra talent.
Speaker 1: My high school coach realized that I was the fastest sprinter,
Speaker 1: but I also could hurdle. So you know how it
Speaker 1: is with team you gotta score them points. You try
Speaker 1: to get all the points you can. So he's like,
Speaker 1: while why are we trying to fight each other for
Speaker 1: the same points. We're gonna throw him in the hurdles.
Speaker 1: So that's how I actually got my start. That's actually
Speaker 1: how I got to college. Once I got to college,
Speaker 1: I told my coades I could sprint too, So we
Speaker 1: had a private practice.
Speaker 4: He saw me spread. He kind of shook his.
Speaker 1: Head like okay, okay. He's like, all right, bron you
Speaker 1: ain't you ain't a hurdling no more. And then from
Speaker 1: there I went on to win titles. The first thing
Speaker 1: I said to him was like, hey, coach, I'm from Florida.
Speaker 1: He said, oh, yeah, you can sprint. So let me
Speaker 1: ask you a question.
Speaker 2: Obviously, what are the typical track practice like for one
Speaker 2: hundred meters two hundred meter running?
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, if you thinking about it, we
Speaker 1: have we have stages to get to that point of
Speaker 1: elite sprinting. So from from November to about January, that's
Speaker 1: all of our endurance phases. From and you wear on
Speaker 1: to about uh I'll say, beginning of March that's our
Speaker 1: sprint endurance phase. And then from March all the way
Speaker 1: to like May that's our speed total speed phase. So
Speaker 1: we're doing five hundred repeats in our endurance phase, we're
Speaker 1: doing exactly with.
Speaker 4: Two minutes, how many how much rest time?
Speaker 1: You gotta come through hit it BYuT a minute fifty
Speaker 1: and then when you cross the line, you got two
Speaker 1: minutes rests before you hit the next one, and you
Speaker 1: gotta hit you gotta.
Speaker 6: Hit sight of the goodness.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's different, broy. You come across that line, fight
Speaker 1: to get a cross that line. That's how you be
Speaker 1: looking for how many you said five? Yeah, you're gonna
Speaker 1: you're gonna do two, and then you got you're gonna
Speaker 1: back it up. No, you gotta you gotta do five hundred,
Speaker 1: two minutes rest, five hundred, Then you get six minutes
Speaker 1: rest and you gotta repeat the process two more times.
Speaker 4: So you got six of them.
Speaker 6: Oh oh hell oh hell.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I want to.
Speaker 5: You know, my daughter she run it at University Kentucky.
Speaker 5: She runs a four and eight. You think she has
Speaker 5: to do that that they have that same process?
Speaker 1: Is it?
Speaker 6: Is it as complex as you guys know?
Speaker 4: Is she still running the eight hundred?
Speaker 1: Yeah, if she's still running eight hundred, she's gonna have
Speaker 1: some workouts on. It's gonna have a lot of broken
Speaker 1: a lot of broken four hundreds for show. That's what
Speaker 1: she's gonna have for Shure real. But yeah, but if
Speaker 1: she get if you're getting ready for that that speeding
Speaker 1: Duran's face, that speed and Durn's face is gonna be
Speaker 1: a looted to repeat one hundreds.
Speaker 4: What's what girl?
Speaker 6: You good?
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm good? All right? We talk about your workouts
Speaker 4: for this season. So it's uh.
Speaker 2: Because I saw what's the guy, Hudson Smith and I
Speaker 2: think Stevie Gardner, little Stevie the Bahaman, he's the he's
Speaker 2: the reigning Olympic champ.
Speaker 4: And they had six repeaters of two hundred meters, so.
Speaker 2: You had to come through in twenty six seconds and
Speaker 2: you got two minute rests. So you come through and
Speaker 2: twenty six you got two minute rests, and you got
Speaker 2: to do that six times.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a grooling where you got to put that
Speaker 1: work in so you can stay that that that that
Speaker 1: endurance all the way through your season, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. So you'll want to get out and get
Speaker 1: that one off. It's like it's like watching the rounds
Speaker 1: of the Olympics right now. You can run a one
Speaker 1: off well, but you need to have that energy for
Speaker 1: the prelimb semis, and you've got to be able to
Speaker 1: show on that finals, right, and.
Speaker 2: As you go and as you go, like the four hundred,
Speaker 2: it's even more grueling because you got the opening round,
Speaker 2: then you got the semis, and now you got and
Speaker 2: and now it ain't no more like it ain't no
Speaker 2: more jogging because everything is a sprint. I watched them
Speaker 2: guys run the ten k, the ten thousand meters and
Speaker 2: they basically run it every lap at at.
Speaker 4: A minute one hundred percent. Everything is a sprint. It
Speaker 4: ain't no more.
Speaker 2: Ay, I'm gonna build up, I'm gonna pay sin and
Speaker 2: then I'm gonna strike at the end.
Speaker 4: Ain't no more, ain't no more going from the gun.
Speaker 4: Everything going from the gun. That's what it is. You
Speaker 4: got to go out there.
Speaker 1: The level of competition has risen in track and field
Speaker 1: world across the board.
Speaker 4: So let me ask you this. Justin you in the finals.
Speaker 2: You done going through your warm up, You've talked to
Speaker 2: your coach, you got your last minute instructions. Now you're
Speaker 2: up under the stadium and they're getting ready to bring
Speaker 2: you guys out. What's going through your mind as you're
Speaker 2: getting ready to run as you're getting ready to walk out,
Speaker 2: and you know, the premiere event in all of the
Speaker 2: Olympics and all the track and field is the hundred
Speaker 2: meter and you know, if someone has television that race
Speaker 2: is on. What's going through justin Gatlan's mind as he's
Speaker 2: getting ready to come out from under that stadium and
Speaker 2: take that track for nine seconds.
Speaker 1: I'm a gamer man, I'm a gamer. So I'm itching
Speaker 1: to get out there. I want to get because what
Speaker 1: happens is we're sitting in the callroom. The callroom probably
Speaker 1: as big as walking a very large walking closet, probably
Speaker 1: twenty by twenty. So you imagine the elite athletes, the
Speaker 1: best fastest men in the world, they're all sitting shoulder
Speaker 1: and shoulder in this quiet little room, and so one
Speaker 1: individual walks in there, they say, y'all ready go. Then
Speaker 1: you stand up, you grab your bag, you get single
Speaker 1: file line, and you walk in into that stadium. And
Speaker 1: then as you walk in it gets dim. But then
Speaker 1: the whole stadium opens up. You could smell the energy.
Speaker 1: You could smell the energy because guess what everybody sees
Speaker 1: you walk out and they look at you and you
Speaker 1: know what time it is. So for me, My mentality is,
Speaker 1: this is what I've been waiting for. I'm ready to
Speaker 1: get on that track. I'm ready to tear these people apart.
Speaker 1: I'm ready to go out here and put on the show.
Speaker 1: Because all that work I did, all them five hundreds
Speaker 1: of everything I did, I ain't I ain't gonna let
Speaker 1: it be in vain.
Speaker 4: I gotta go out here and show out.
Speaker 1: Especially And when you hit at a championship, it's usually
Speaker 1: across seas over somewhere else in the world, right, so
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a lot of dominant European flags flying around.
Speaker 4: People from other countries.
Speaker 1: It always be that one little mayor can flag flapping
Speaker 1: someone from Iyoa or something like that.
Speaker 4: You never met before in your life, you.
Speaker 6: Know what I mean.
Speaker 1: And they just waving that flags just to go. Baby,
Speaker 1: that's where your energy's at. You look at them, you
Speaker 1: point to them, you be like, all right, I'm doing
Speaker 1: that for you. And then once that moment happened, you
Speaker 1: getting that blocks gun goes off. You got a all
Speaker 1: ass man. That's what you do it for. That pride
Speaker 1: that I mean, just in your start, that's what you
Speaker 1: were known for. Your start, that drag you and Kristen,
Speaker 1: were that where that toe is basically scraping the gras
Speaker 1: scraping the top of the track, and.
Speaker 6: It's man, tuck your tuck your arms in your arms
Speaker 6: all out here.
Speaker 2: No no, no, no, I'm no, I'm just saying no, I'm
Speaker 2: talking about the top of this.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I'm saying you were doing the exactly.
Speaker 5: You had your arms all right here, man, tuck your
Speaker 5: arms on an example.
Speaker 4: You gotta go eat in the pocket.
Speaker 2: So so when you when you're when you're doing that,
Speaker 2: and you like, do you know when you have a
Speaker 2: great drive, do you know like, oh this it feels.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know when you hit it when that
Speaker 1: gun goes off and you leave the block.
Speaker 4: But I hit that one just like that, you know
Speaker 4: it the first the first two steps hit it? Yeah,
Speaker 4: and you said sorry salar rats you like yeah, especially when.
Speaker 1: You know you can look behind you almost and see
Speaker 1: everybody like, oh all right, goddamn boy, they're done.
Speaker 4: They done.
Speaker 2: So So at what point in time how many steps
Speaker 2: do you going before you like, okay, I keep my
Speaker 2: head because for really like mo Green was really the
Speaker 2: first one that he stayed, I mean he stayed, he
Speaker 2: kept his head down and then all of a sudden
Speaker 2: it was like a swimmer.
Speaker 4: All of a sudden he popped up on top of
Speaker 4: the water.
Speaker 2: You know, like Michael Phelp when he go down and
Speaker 2: they stay up underwater, and all of a sudden he
Speaker 2: pop up. It's like, Mo Green was really like the
Speaker 2: first one that we really noticed. I mean Ben Johnson.
Speaker 2: Ben Johnson did it also, But we ain't gonna talk
Speaker 2: about being uh but Mo, but how many steps are you?
Speaker 2: Kind of your steps says okay, one, two, three, four, five, Okay.
Speaker 4: Here I go.
Speaker 1: You don't necessarily have to count your steps. I use
Speaker 1: actually places on the track as a point of reference.
Speaker 1: So if I get to that point of reference, it's
Speaker 1: almost like thirteen fourteen steps. So if I get to
Speaker 1: that point, I know I could eyeball where thirty meters is.
Speaker 1: I know I got to drive to there once I
Speaker 1: once I come across that that that piece of line
Speaker 1: or that color on the track, I can say all right,
Speaker 1: this one, I start to come up and start moving.
Speaker 1: Because you can't. You gotta have your blinders on when
Speaker 1: you and your drive phase. You can't be looking around
Speaker 1: over the place. That's where your real focus is. Once
Speaker 1: you come out that drive phase. You go in that transition,
Speaker 1: everything's a blur, and then that's when you start to
Speaker 1: come into your competition phase. Once you get to that
Speaker 1: top end speed, and then you can look around and say, okay,
Speaker 1: this is where everybody is.
Speaker 2: Hmm, that's live many How many steps?
Speaker 4: How many steps did it take you to run one hundred.
Speaker 1: Meters forty one steps? You say it was forty steps.
